Private property rights are widely considered effective institutional arrangement to allocate scarce goods and combat what has been termed the "tragedy of the commons". Their use for governing essential resources, such as food, water and shelter under conditions of scarcity, however, is less certain. Any governance regime for such resources must meet at least three baseline conditions: equity (fair access), efficiency (improved productivity and growth) and (environmental) sustainability. The Panel Discussion on Triangulating Property Rights seeks to advance alternative governance solutions drawing on theory, legal and empirical research.
